PostgreSQL copy

copY 命令可以快速的导入数据到 Postgresql 中，文件格式类似CVS之类。适合批量导入数据，比 \i 和恢复数据表快。

导出表数据到文件或 STDOUT ：

copY tablename [(column [,...])]
   TO {'filename' | STDOUT}
   [[WITH]
      [BINARY]
      [OIDS]
      [DELIMITER [AS] 'delimiter']
      [NULL [AS] 'null string']
      [CSV [HEADER]
         [QUOTE [AS] 'quote']
         [ESCAPE [AS] 'escape']
         [FORCE NOT NULL column [,...]]

导入文件或者 STDIN 到表中：

copY tablename [(column [,...])]
   FROM {'filename' | STDIN}
   [[WITH]
      [BINARY]
      [OIDS]
      [DELIMITER [AS] 'delimiter']
      [NULL [AS] 'null string']
      [CSV [HEADER]
         [QUOTE [AS] 'quote']
         [ESCAPE [AS] 'escape']
         [FORCE QUOTE column [,...]]

导出表 employee 到默认输出 STDOUT：

psql> copY employee TO STDOUT;

导出表 employee 到 sql 文件：

psql> copY employee TO '/home/smallfish/employee.sql';

从文件导入数据：

psql> copY employeenew FROM '/home/smallfish/employee.sql';
psql> SELECT * FROM employeenew;
employeeid  | employeecode |     name            |       email
------------+--------------+---------------------+---------------

          4 | MW777983     | Matt Wade           | [email protected]
(4 rows)

输出对象ID（OIDS）：

psql> copY employee TO STDOUT OIDS;

24628  2       RT435234        Robert Treat          [email protected]
24629  3       GS998909        Greg Sabino Mullane   [email protected]
24630  4       MW777983        Matt Wade             [email protected]

指定导出间隔符，默认是 \t ，这里为 | ：

psql>copY employee TO STDOUT DELIMITER '|';

3|GS998909|Greg Sabino Mullane|[email protected]
4|MW777983|Matt Wade|[email protected]

导入文件数据，指定间隔符为 | ：

psql> copY employeenew FROM '/home/smallfish/employee.sql' DELIMITER |;

导出指定字段的数据：

psql> copY employee (name,email) TO STDOUT;
Jason Gilmore         [email protected]
Robert Treat          [email protected]
Greg Sabino Mullane   [email protected]
Matt Wade             [email protected]

为 NULL 字段设置默认值：

psql> copY employee TO STDOUT NULL 'no email';
Jason Gilmore         no email
Robert Treat          [email protected]
Greg Sabino Mullane   [email protected]
Matt Wade             no email

导出为CVS格式：

psql> copY employee (name,email) TO '/home/smallfish/employee.csv' CSV HEADER;
